We also present results from an initial study of the educational impact of the game. Many educational games do not properly translate knowledge, facts, and lessons into the language of games. This results in games that are often neither engaging nor educational. Our approach differs by using game mechanics to express the educational content. The design combines the fantasy elements and game play conventions of the real-time strategy (RTS) genre with numbers, resources and situations based on research about real-world energy production and use. The result is a game in which the player learns about energy use simply by trying to overcome the game's challenges. We demonstrate that effective and engaging learning games can be developed as long as sound game design principles are used. Results from a combined quantitative/qualitative study show that players enjoyed the game, learned new things and became more interested in the topic of energy use. This paper will highlight key aspects of the design that we believe contributed towards making the game fun as well as educational. The game also presents a model for translating real-world topics into game mechanics using the language of procedural rhetoric. The real world is ripe with problems and situations that could inspire interesting game mechanics and provide new creative ideas for educational and traditional game designers.","PeriodicalId":280257,"journal":{"name":"Sandbox '10","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130107911","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since player experience is not well understood, correlations between self-reports from players and psychophysiological data may provide a quantitative understanding of this experience. Measurements of electrodermal activity (EDA) and heart rate (HR) allow making inferences about player arousal (i.e., excitement) and are easy to deploy. This paper reports a case study on HR and EDA correlations with subjective gameplay experience, testing the feasibility of these measures in commercial game development contexts. Results indicate a significant correlation (p < 0.01) between psychophysiological arousal (i.e., HR, EDA) and self-reported gameplay experience. However, the covariance between psychophysiological measures and self-reports varies between the two measures. The results are consistent across three different contemporary major commercial first-person shooter (FPS) games (Prey, Doom 3, and Bioshock).","PeriodicalId":280257,"journal":{"name":"Sandbox '10","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129376140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result, the industry devotes much time and effort to level design. However, this subject has received very little research. Documentation on the process of level design or how designers push or pull players through a level within a video game is very sparse. In this paper, we propose a set of design patterns for level design. The patterns were developed based on a process involving interviews with game designers as well as gameplay analysis of different games. We established face validity of these patterns through expert review; we also established reliability using inter-rater agreement. In addition, we also developed a timeline video annotation method based on these patterns. This visualization method provides a very effective approach to view players' play style and preference as well as level design problems. The patterns as well as the visualization method will be discussed in the paper.","PeriodicalId":280257,"journal":{"name":"Sandbox '10","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122351893","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They form part of an emerging phenomenon with many physical and social health benefits, and we believe that the social and exertion interactions are intertwined. Recent technological developments, particularly in the sports and game domain, have been proposed to augment these exertion activities. However, we only have a limited understanding of how this relationship between social and exertion aspects can be successfully facilitated by the design, especially in mediated environments. In this paper, we present initial findings of a qualitative study of \"Jogging over a Distance\" that illustrate how technology design can facilitate a social game experience despite participants running in opposite sides of the world. From this study, we derived conceptual themes that offer an analytical and descriptive account of the influence of design on the relationship between exertion and social aspects. Our work aims to support the analysis of existing, and provide guidance for, the design of future games that aim to utilize the many benefits of social exertion.","PeriodicalId":280257,"journal":{"name":"Sandbox '10","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133302797","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The advent of the television, computers and videogames has resulted in a more sedentary lifestyle, with more time spent in front of a screen more than ever before. Exergaming is a term used to describe video games that provide encouragement to exercise, particularly for an audience that may be reluctant to engage in the more traditional forms of exercise. Exergames are a commonly accepted method of encouraging more physical activity to promote better health for those with high levels of sedentary screen time. In this work, we survey a number of quantitative exergame studies to define a general set of elements that make exergames effective from a physical standpoint. We also examine the intended audience and the incentive elements necessary for an exergame to meet the needs of its audience. Finally, we examine our own exergame system and how well it performs against commercial systems.","PeriodicalId":280257,"journal":{"name":"Sandbox '10","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130108435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using commodity game controllers to capture full-body poses, we investigate player performance and experience in 3D video games using positive and negative reinforcement along audio, vibration and visual channels. To explore this, we conducted a study regarding non-visual feedback's effect on participating player's experience and performance. The results indicate that players sometimes performed faster with a visual guide, but preferred visual and non-visual feedback almost equally. Between non-visual feedback types, they performed fastest and preferred audio in a positive role and vibration in a negative role.

While proven to be effective, these processes can become monotonous for patients and labor-intensive for therapists. Recent advancements in robotics and game consoles have alleviated these issues but are generally limited to specific motor skills, while excluding other types of deficits. This paper considers this limitation by focusing on a deficit known as the foot-drop and by exploring how the \"fun\" factor can be effectively incorporated into rehabilitating the condition. As a preliminary stage of this exploration, a device comprised of a game and a controller using muscle-based electrical impulses has been developed. The implementation of this device demonstrates potential benefits for the neurologically impaired with successful integration of muscle-based electrical impulses and game technology. Further testing is required to determine whether the integration of game-play can provide a \"fun\" incentive, which results in increased adherence to exercises that are typically arduous and repetitive.","PeriodicalId":280257,"journal":{"name":"Sandbox '10","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124533986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
